Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention generally relates to shape memory films that are tri-functionally crosslinked and that comprise multiple, non-terminal, phenylethynyl moieties. In addition, the present invention relates methods of fabricating such films. Due to the improved properties of such SMPS, the SMP designer can program in to the SMP mechanical property enhancements that make the SMP suitable, among other things, for advanced sensors, high temperature actuators, responder matrix materials and heat responsive packaging.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A sol-gel comprising a tri-functional crosslinked poly(amic acid), a tri-functionally crosslinked poly(amide-amic acid) and/or a tri-functionally crosslinked copolymer of poly(amic acid) and poly(amide-amic acid), said tri-functionally crosslinked poly(amic acid), tri-functionally crosslinked poly(amide-amic acid) and/or tri-functionally crosslinked copolymer of poly(amic acid) and poly(amide-amic acid) comprising repeat units and non-terminal, phenylethynyl moieties each of said repeat units comprising one of said non-terminal, phenylethynyl moieties. 2. A film comprising the sol-gel of claim 1 . 3. A two or three dimensional object comprising the sol-gel of claim 1 . 4. A two or three dimensional object comprising the film of claim 2 .
